Can you duel wield weapons as a swordsman? Like 2 short swords? I got addicted to wielding 2 swords in kotor (Knights of the old Republic). Just curious. Thanks.

Nope, no duel weilds as of now.

I know because lots of people wanted to weild duel pistols like Boba Fett. The devs said it will not be at release. Maybe a bit after.

Cool. There is hope then.

not for a 2 handed sword user... maybe a fencer...

That'd be AWESOME!!!

Makes sense too! 2h weaponsuser usingTWO 1h (fencing) weapons! Why not??

cause our weapons require two hand to use =P

thus its 2handed weapon...

unless you have 4 hands (the blue elephant creature at bobba's place?)...

i think if its implemented it'll mostly be for pistol or at most fencer (since they do one handed.. so the other hand is practically free).. kinda like the new Jedi game.. whatever its called.. where u can dual wield lightsaber =)

what i want though is anlightaxe =P or a lightbigasssaber

Some quick answers:

• Yes, pistoleers will be getting duel wielding (and yes, its very cool). So will fencers. I think there are a couple of other professions, but I can't think of them at the moment.
  
• The tip scamming is frustrating. I spoke with Blair about it this morning and we started thinking of ways to add a layer of security in there for you.
  
• This week's evenings look a little mroe manageable so I'll do my best to get a couple of the Ten Questions answered.
  
• Ill send an email internally and ask about the shuttle travel from any planet to any planet. I'll look into getting an In Dev post on it.

am I the only one that is sortof wondering how this is going to be done..... all of our animations and specials involve one weapon... not 2.... So either fencer is going to be drastically changed... OR... new profession....

maybe even.. ohhhh.. the first elite elite combat professions... just a thought.. obviously no facts here...

Although I'm happy with the words we've gotten so far.. being a master fencer/pistoleer... I'm probably going to wish we could make an alien with 4 arms.... or better yet... have out a gun, AND a sword...

"yes run away... now I shot you... yes yes.. come closer.. now I stab you.. mahahahahahhahahah"..

ok I'm done

It's dual, not duel.

I would expect this to come out with the redistribution, or whatever it is called, of certifications and revamp of weapons. The Developers will either add a new set of dual-wielding weapons, or impose enough restrictions on the current ones to make it so that you can't hit with two Gaderiffi every second. Expect to see, at best, a longer sword (Ryyk or Curved) and a dagger (Vibroblade), or two moderate sized weapons, Curved Swords and Regular Swords.

I sincerely hope that Fencers do not gain the ability to dual wield Gaffi Sticks or Stun Batons, just because of how the weapons are wielded.

Let's all pray for more information on this, and hope that the developers shed a little more light on the new dual-wielding (which I hate by the way...)
